Thank you for posting the photo of WKX3 racing. The car remains much like the colour photos excepting that was shifted to left hand drive.

Hi there,
   
   My father owned this car in the UK until about 1986. During the time that he owned it, the car was painted a gunmetal grey, and (from memory) had a red interior. It was restored after he sold it, and appeared (as I expect you know) on the cover of Classic Car in 1988.
   I would love to see some more photos of it from before he owned it, and I'd be very happy to post some photos of it from when he had it, if they would be of interest?
   It's great to know that the car is still being enjoyed!
   
   Cheers,
